Scholar’s Advanced Technological System
Chapter 359: Hoffman Award
The second week of the end of the report was also the auditorium of Humboldt University.
Dressed in formal attire, tied with a tie, standing on the same podium, Lu Zhou slowly adjusted his breathing, and the feeling of stirring in his chest still could not be himself.
To be precise, the podium should be called at the moment.
On the back of his curtain, he listed his research achievements in the field of chemistry.
When he arrived at the stage, Professor Klaus Mirren, who is the president of the German Chemical Society, read the award speech in a calm voice.
"...from modified pdms films to hollow carbon spheres for inhibition of polysulfide diffusion, from imperfect hs-1 materials to hs-2 materials that completely solve the bottleneck of lithium-sulfur battery technology, and today's electrochemical interfaces Structural theory model."
"He has done real and meaningful things for our world, our civilization through our own knowledge."
“There are very few scholars who can make such great results at this age. Even if we trace history, I can count no more than ten names.”
"Now the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure has been completed, and with its help we will be able to achieve greater progress and results. We have reason to believe that in the near future, it will become indispensable in our theory. a cornerstone."
After a pause, Professor Klaus Mirren raised the volume and announced the decision of the German Chemical Society with a loud voice.
“After discussion by the German Chemical Society, we decided to grant Professor Lu Zhou the Hoffman Medal to thank him for his contribution to the theoretical chemistry community.”
"At the moment, let us, give him applause."
Professor Mirren’s voice fell and the applause thundered.
Sitting under the stage, Professor Etter laughed and patted his hand and gave a thumb to the boat on the stage.
Sitting next to him, Faltins was a lack of interest, sitting among a group of boring people, so that the old man could not help but hit a Hatch.
However, when the applause sounded, the arrogant Germanic man still clap his hands symbolically.
The Bourbaki School pursues a glorious isolation of other disciplines. But even if the part of the theoretical model about other disciplines is put aside, there is still a remarkable mathematical aesthetic in the rigorous argumentation process.
Applause is only for this part.
Faltins reluctantly admits that this part is a pass for him.
At the same time, on the podium.
The medals and certificates were handed to Lu Zhou’s hands, and the gray-haired old man smiled and extended his right hand.
"Congratulations, Professor Lu Zhou."
The Hoffmann Medal was established by the German Chemical Society in 1902, stipulating that scholars who make outstanding contributions in the field of chemistry can obtain this medal regardless of nationality. The medal is awarded irregularly, the prize is a certificate, and a gold medal.
As for the bonus, there are not many, only 10,000 euros, but the gift is light and affectionate.
Lu Zhou is the first Chinese scholar to receive this honor since the establishment of the award. It is also the youngest of all the winners.
Because of the existence of these two meanings, the meaning behind this honor is even more extraordinary.
In the arms holding the medals and certificates, Lu Zhou and Professor Mirren shrugged and solemnly expressed their gratitude.
"Thank you."
Professor Mirren smiled and said in a funny tone.
"You're welcome, this is your honor."
In the boiling applause, the award ceremony came to an end.
However, as part of the celebration, the German Chemical Society’s congratulations to Lu Zhou did not end.
According to the tradition of academic awards, the awards are followed by dances.
In the evening, at the Westin Bolin Hotel, not far from Humboldt University, the German Chemical Society arranged a banquet for him, and the members of the Society were basically invited.
In addition to celebrating the birth of a new Hoffman Medal winner, the main purpose of the banquet is to provide a place for communication to the relatively close peers of the social circle.
However, as the winner of the Hoffman Medal, Lu Zhou is undoubtedly the star of the banquet.
After many people arrived, they would bring champagne to him in front of him and send him congratulations.
"...Huaguo is a beautiful country. I have been there many times. The biggest one I have ever been is Shanghai Jiaotong University. The library there is very impressive. It will always be packed before closing. In my opinion Come, a nation that loves books and knowledge is worthy of respect.” Standing in front of Lu Zhou, Professor Mirren, who previously presented medals to Lu Zhou on the podium, was chatting with him in a friendly tone.
An outstanding scholar usually has many identities. At the same time as the president of the German Chemical Society, Professor Mirren is also the dean of the German Academy of Sciences, the director of the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, and the honor of Shanghai Jiaotong University. professor.
Regardless of whether it is a social rhetoric, at least his tone is sincere.
Lu Zhou said with a smile: "I am very glad that you can enjoy my hometown. If you have the chance, I can take you to Jinling University. It is my alma mater. I bet it is a more beautiful place."
"Haha, please take me to see," Professor Mirren raised his eyebrows with interest and said with a smile. "There is a place where we can cultivate a scholar who is worthy of our study."
Lifting the goblet in his hand, Lu Zhou and Professor Mirren touched the next cup and smiled: "Sure."
Although he is not sure if Professor Milun can get any inspiration from Jinda's education model, it is always a good thing for his alma mater to exchange experience and learn from top foreign universities.
As a handsome senior, he has to do something for his schoolmates.
......
At the banquet, I was filled with a lot of wine. Even though Lu Zhou was still accustomed to drinking, I couldn’t help myself.
After taking a taxi at the door, the first thing after Lu Zhou returned to the Bernitz Hotel was to take a hot bath in the bathroom.
I washed away the alcohol, although I did not completely dispel the drunk, but I felt a lot more comfortable.
The clothes were thrown into the frame of the laundry, and Lu Zhou lay on the bed, facing the empty room and playing with the golden medal in his hand.
Suddenly I felt a little lonely, he opened the small program in the phone and whispered a sigh.
"Little Ai, your master, I am a little dizzy now, I am going to sleep right away. But before I go to sleep, I always feel that I have forgotten something, or do you think about it for me?"
Xiao Ai did not respond immediately, probably thinking.
After a while, a line of words popped up on the phone screen.
Xiao Ai: [Master, I thought of it, you have forgotten to share the joy with your fans! (??????)??]
Lu Zhou: ...?
Huh?
like……
I really forgot about it.
Thinking of this, the face with a bit of drunken Lu Zhou, suddenly embarrassed smile.
This……
I am sorry.
Although the popularity of the Hoffman Medal outside the academic world is not comparable to the Crawford Award, it is not comparable to the Ziegler Prize jointly awarded by the German Chemical Society and the American Chemical Society, but its position in the chemical industry is not at all low.
After all, this award is not issued every year.
Considering that “things are rare,” the medal’s influence in academia is even stronger than the Adams Chemistry Prize.
If you think about it, don't share this joy with your fans. It's really impossible to say it.
Taking a photo of the Hoffman Medal and the certificate, Lu Zhou edited a collar.
Just issued a 10,000 euro bonus, the last time I took ten Warwick, this time I pumped ten apples.
After clicking on the send, Lu Zhou threw the phone on the bedside table, yawned and rolled over to sleep.
